Roads & Boats The basic game The expansions Additional scenarios The puzzles Frequently asked questions Reviews, reactions and photos The basic game Roads & Boats is a long, strategic game in which each player builds up a civilization. From humble beginnings (a woodcutter, a stonemason) their economies expand to include trucks, steamships, and even a stock exchange. The emphasis is on transportation, with each player trying to outcompete others in building roads, constructing factories, breeding geese and donkeys, inventing gold mines etcetera. but beware! there is no concept of territory in the game, so anything you build can be used by any other player! > > > more information The expansions The expansion set Planes & Trains contains aeroplanes, trains and explosives.
